morrison-dylan-fan With having found Disney's Goofy short film How To Play Golf to be a sharp and witty short movie,I started to hope that Goofy would match his golfing skills when taking on a game of American football.The plot:Showing a football arena to be jammed packed with fans from above,the moves goes down to earth and heads to the pitch,where the players soon reveal that this game is going to be as far away from a "friendly" as you can get.View on the film:Taking over from original voice artist George Johnson,Pinto Colvig gives Goofy an electric spark,which perfectly matches the excellent frantic animation that touches down on the screen.Unlike the previous Goofy shorts,director Jack Kinney gives every single player in the opposing teams their own distinctive look,and rough-edge personality,which leads to this being a Goofy movie that defiantly hits the whole nine yards.

TheLittleSongbird Not only that, one of the best sports cartoons and one of Goofy's best. Hockey Homicide is perhaps the very best of the Goofy sports cartoons, but How to Play Football is one of the finest examples also. The animation is colourful and fluid as one would anticipate, and the music when it's played is full of energy and makes the audience part of the exciting atmosphere that you get playing sports(or even performing in a concert for that matter). The story, which focuses on college football at its most dominant, is simple and always exciting. But the stars of How to Play Football, other than the deliciously sardonic narration and the gag that the crowd ignore the narration giving a sense that the rules aren't important to them, were Goofy and the gags. How to Play Football is full to the brim with gags(mostly sight gags), and all of them hilarious and on target. Goofy is seen in several personalities, as a wily coach, pampered star player, brutish lineman and silly kicker, all in the same character design, and I found it both interesting and amazing at the same time. All in all, if you love cartoons and sports you will find How to Play Football a treat(I'm not the biggest sports fan but find the How to sports cartoons brilliant on the whole). 10/10 Bethany Cox

ccthemovieman-1 Here's another "Goofy" explanation of a sport: this time, college football. The beginning explains all the ingredients that go into the game, and that's pretty funny.Then the football starts, pitting Taxidermy U. vs. Anthropology A&M. The star is Taxidermy's "Swivelhips Smith," who takes the opening kickoff and swivels his way 105 yards for a touchdown!This is really cornball material, but very funny in spots. For example of the corn, they explain "the quarterback barks the signals" and you hear a dark barking - that sort of thing. The funniest play of the game is a 100-yard fumble recovery and run. The rest is fairly routine sight gags.Very corny, very dated but definitely fun to watch.

King Of The World This Walt Disney Cartoon spoofs the many newsreels that people watched in Cinemas in the '20's, '30's and '40's. It explains to viewers how to play (American) Football, with hilarious results. Recommended Deeply.
